FOR RELEASE
June 14, 1950
Uncontradicted testimony of wire-tapping' and coercion
of witnesses .by the Office of Naval Intelligence in the
general court-martial case of Marine Corps Second Lt. Harold
K. Thompson was called to the attention of Navy Secretary
Francis Patrick liat thews today by the American Civil Liberties
Union which urged him to "carefully review these matters" in
his review of the case.
A letter signed by Board chairman Dr. John Hayncs Holmes,
executive director Patrick Murphy Halin and general counsel
Arthur Garfield Kays stressed that the use of evidence ob-
tained through the coercion of witnesses is a- violation of
the Fifth Amendment guaranteeing a fair trial and evidence
growing out of wire-tapping was illegal under the Federal
Communications Act. According to the case records, the ACLU
officials said that there was evidence that at least two
prosecution witnesses were coerced "through threats of jail
sentences on spurious charges", and that conversations bet-
ween Lt. Thompson and his lawyer were tapped. "These arc
grave charges and demand the most careful consideration;"
While admitting that the government has at times author-
ized wire-tapping in espionage or treason cases, it emphas-
ized "that it is against the government's policy to use wire-
tapping in ordinary prosecutions. We believe that the use of
wire-tapping even in treason and espionage cases is in vio-
lation of the Federal Communications Act, but there is no
doubt whatsoever that its use in this type of proceeding
is clearly illegal."
End Release.

Thompson and we do not want a smart
outside lawyer to get him out of his
conviction,". Getting nowhere in his
questions as ttf whether Rudder shared
-Thompson's political views about the
military, Prickett had "adopted a more '
threatening attitude," Rudder swore he
knew that the controversy over Thomp-
son's Apolitical views preceded the bring-
ing of charges by some six months.
After appearing as a character witness
for Thompson, Rudder was honorably
discharged from the service. ,
• Beck, the witness who blew the
morals charge sky*high in- the trial,
■ swore that afterward he was arrested,
held without charges, and, finally ac-
cused of,;indecent exposure before the
wife of an NCG. Major K. B. Pickle told
him "he 'would be" tried unless he re-
tracted his testimony. He stuck to his
story, was never tried, but was honor-
ably discharged.
PRO-THORIPSON BRASS; Both court
testimony and affidavits showed
Thompson had been active in exposing
illegal and unfair. practices against en-
listed men. His activities helped bring
out evidence* that men were held in leg
irons in violation of jiaval law, forcea
as a punishment to put garbage on
their meal trays, and denied the right
of counsel in courts martial.
Testifying by deposition for Thomp-
son were two Navy captains and four
j, commanders; a colonel, a captain and
a 1 lieutenant of .Marines "f* a lieutenant-
colonel of the air force; and Rear Ad-
miral By rd, in whose second South Pole
expedition Thompson -had served - so
well that Byrd helped in- Thompson's
transfer to the regular Navy. Despite

John P. Floberg, Asst, Secretary of the
Navy for Air. "It's still lying on FJo-
berg's desk— I wish we could get rid of
it" said Col.' C. -J. Bigler, disciplinary
chief of the corps, to J,h& GUARDIAN.
Thompson, an affable, courteous six-
foot-sixer of 27, descended on both sides
from fighters in the Revolutionary
.War, says he'll fight the case until his
beard is grey. His expenses have been/
tremendous. His pay was stopped for a
few months, restored after legal pro-
ceedings were threatened.
He once thought he would soon be
engaged to a girl in New York, but that
has fallen through.

^^Mm.Himmler — She 's Impoverish ed 9
.*►' By RICHARD CARTER
1 Harold Keith Thompson, Jr., who became
j 30 on Sept. 17, stands 6 feet 6£, weighs 215
{pounds, has clean-cut, soff features and a
i watery gaze and recently achieved interna-
tional notoriety as registered U. S. agent of
German's supposedly defunct neo-Nazi So-
cialist Reich Party.
The other day he sat politely in his office, con-
• trolled the quiver of his lips by smiling' tightly, and
nominated George Sylvester Viereck, the eminent
I Nazi agent, as "the type of man we should have as
; Secretary of State."
The occasion was a visit by this reporter. The
announced purpose was to find out how a young
man born in the benign and gracious atmosphere
of Orange, N. J., and educated at Yale (B.A. in
History. 1946}, could get mixed up with Nazism.
Thompson denies that \ie is a phenomenon.
And he would much rather, discuss the American
Jewish Committee, which charged recently that his
continued operations here'prove that the Socialist
Reich Party did not dissolve, as it had claimed, but
was still grinding its axe, however surreptitiously.
Thomson is indignant at this. But he says he also
is grateful.
'Hitler Was Right'
"As a result of the Jewish Committee's news re-
lease," he smiled, "I got a message from a farmer
. who wants to send food packages to the families of
'' all imprisoned German so-called 'war criminals.'
That's a $10,000 transaction. I've been getting 300
messages like it a day. We are now on the move.
The national temperature is changing. People are
becoming less afraid to admit that Hitler was right."
He thinks that "the American Jewish Committee,
the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith, the
Society for Prevention of World War III, and other
groups friendly to Israel and antagonistic to Nazi
Germany should be required to register as foreign
agents.
He thinks that Secretary of State Acheson is
playing footsie with what he describes in his So-
cialist Reich Party writing as "the world-Jewish
community." and he contends that this "commu-
nity" is dictating the terms of a malignant policy
which, in his opinion, finds the cream of Nazi mili-
tary genius, unjustly in jail.
Asked whether any V. S. statesman has recog-
nized these alleged issues and has shown inclina-
tion to meet them squarely, Thompson smiled and,
in his cultivated tones, responded:
Times-Herald
Wash. Post
Wash. News
Wash. Star
N.Y. Herald Tribune
N.Y. Mirror
N.Y. Compass
'McCarthy Was Firm*— ~
"Senator McCarthy. He took a very firm position
against the Nuremberg war crime trials. -And so
did Senator Taft. As a matter of fact, I w#ked for
the nomination of Senator Taft. I was at trie Re-
publican convention with a delegation from the
German-American Voters Alliance."
Taft, McCarthy and Viereck are what this nation
needs, he. declares.
He says that one can't begin to appreciate the
issues until one recognizes that the U. S. has a
"kept press" which invariably errs on the side of,
the political Left at the expense of the Right.
That's what the man says.
It was this venal press, he goes on, which mis-
represented Hitler -Germany to the people, and
helped plunge us into an unjust and unnecessary
war.
He denies that anybody was persecuted in Hitler
Germany except enemies of the state and insists
that the crematoria were post-war products of a
U. S.rSoviet endeavor to "swindle and defraud" the
'world.
'Nazi Enlightenment'
He admits that Jews left pre-war Germany by
the thousands, but ascribes this to the fact that an
enlightened Hitler regime had demanded loyalty to
Jihe Fatherland as the price of remaining there. As
kssals of a world-Jewish state, he continues, the
tews couldn't subscribe to Hitler enlightenment, and
s the historic right of German sovereignty," and
took off. But they were not victims of persexutluil,' J
no matter what anyone says.
He explains his interest in all these novel con*
cepts-as due in part to the fact that "I am de-
scended from a long line of Prussian field marshals/*
"At the age of 14," he goes on, "1 became politi-
cally interested in German history. About that time,
you may be interested to know, I became a close
friend of King Carol of Romania. Do you know what
philately is? I happened to make the King a present
of a certain issue of American stamps. He acknowl-
edged the gift warmly, and we started our corre-
spondence. I also was quite a close friend of Prinz
August Withelm— -Prince August William— of Prus-
sia. I toured Germany as a child several times."
Nazi Civil Liberties
During the war, he said, he was a student at
Drew College and Yale and served for a while *'iu
officer's training." His views were well known ("I
never thought the U. S. should have gotten into
World War I, and, of course, into World War II"),
but the FBI and other intelligence agencies did not
bother him.
After the war, he says, he. was shocked at the
treatment accorded former Nazis, particularly for-
mer Nazi dignitaries, and dedicated himself to the
salvation of their civil liberties.
"Poor Mrs. HimmleiV he mourned. "She keeps
telling them that she did nothing. That she was
only a loyal wife. Yet they confiscate her property.'
She is impoverished. It is an outrage."
Civil liberties are a big thing with him: He says
he has analyzed the Nuremberg trial transcripts
and the proceedings of subsequent de-Nazificalion
.trials. an<! finds that they were uniformly trumped
up railroad jobs.
"I deny that any Germans were war criminals,"
he stresses.
The Contradiction
Asked whether he has any views on civil liberties
within his native land, the U. S., he says:
"I think everyone should be free to express politi-
cal views, no matter what the variety." V r
He then was" asked how he reconciles this liber-
tarian assertion with his belief that "the spirit of
our age is the; resurgence of authority/which is
' antithetical to democracy, liberalism and com-
munism."
How, he was asked, can you be for anti-demo-
cratic "authority" and civil liberties at one and the
same time?
"When In Rome," he smiled, "do as the Romans
do. Acheson and the rest claim they are for democ-
'<t them then be democratic. Let thpny fit.a^,
trying to impose themselves on the German people,
the German state and the German economy. If the
(so-called war criminals had been shot by the U. 8.,
i it might have been justifiable under the slogan,
! To the Victor Belong the Spoils, but to imprison
them and deny them dignity is criminal."
I He subsides for a moment, as if considering what
| he has said, and then resumes, as if for the record:
L "Understand, I'm not auvocating any particular!
/philosophy. I'm fighting for certain people, for jus-|
Jtice. We contend that the interests of the U. Sj
vis-a-vis the international Communist movement!
I are best served by a strong Germany. We've alien-l
ated Germany with the war trials. Now we ask thi
I Germans to build an army to fight for us at thr
same time that we have under confinement thou-'
sands of their soldiers, including the legal head of
the German State. Grand Admiral Doenitz. It was a
-foul and unspeakable process."
By his side is a worn leather satchel, into which
he reaches occasionally for a document or a news
clipping. You notice that on the pull tab at the top
of the vahse is embossed in gold:

GOERBIO, PISS, and the others were convicted on "fraudulent evidence*"

An article appearing in the 1'ashington Post on 9/22/52, a daily
newspaper of Washington, D. C, reflects that Germanyfs largest and
best organized new-style Nazi organization, the Socialist Reich Party
(SEP), disbanded a few days ago, but that it, still had a registered agent
'in the U.S., in. the person of HAROLD KEITH THOMPSON of Chatham, n..j.

KEITH THOMPSON is registered wit/i that section of the U.S. Department
of Justice as an agent for the SRP and "Die Andre Seite", a publication
of Dr. RUDOLPH ASCHENAUER. " /
EDWARD A^rLECKiiiNSTEBJ was interviewed at "his home, 39 King Ave.,
y.'eehawken, JJ..J. on 11/21/52. At. that time, . FLMJKEr-STEiW advised that he
was introduced to THOMPSON by GEORGE SYLVESTE^fviERECK, a mutual friend .
during the Spring of 1952. Further, that THOMPSON was a member of the Voters
Allies of Americans of German Ancestry (VA/.GA) of which ELECKERSTEIN is
president. pEgK^STglN^stat ed that THOMPSON had registered as an agent
for the SRP on the advice of VII RECK, against his own advice, inasmuch as
he had deemed it not necessary*
ILECKENSlEDj stated further that he had not approved of the manner
in which fflOlJiPS^TiaJ carried out the conduct of the Committee for Freedom
for Major General Remer, as he did not approve of a large amount of
publicity which had been to a great extent at first.

: According to g^C^^EI^ffiOMFSON had cancelled his registration
in the Department of State as a Foreign Agent J and the Committee for Freedom

The above information concerning the status of instant committees
■was. confirmed by Confidential Informant Newark T~5, of unknown. reliability,
on 3/6/53,
(B) Committee for the Advancement of 1 astern Culture
Ah article in the Newark Star Ledger, a daily newspaper of ^ Newark,
^.J.,. reflected an interview with subject' concerning. THOMPSON '.S connection
with a new organization. . According to this article, ,ffiOFPSOM ! S "newest
venture in political ideology is as National Chairman of the American '
Committee for the Advancement of Western Culture* As he outlined the
Committee's aims in an interview yesterday, fflO^PSOiv- drew a Hitlerian
picture of Nordic supremacy in the world fight against Communism*"
fflOWPSOW is quoted as stating that this will be strictly an
American group with representation in various major cities dedicated to a"
vigorous fight in behalf of the traditional Nordic, Anglo-Saxon, American
culture and against the encroachment of Communism and alien cultures*
"THOMPSON makes no bones about world Zionism being the Committee's major
target •" ,
"Thompson's argument is that the 'World Jewish Committee 1 is
costing America valuable allies in the struggle against Communism — that
its influence forced this country into lftorld > ar II, is blocking the re-
building of Vest Germany, and is alienating the friendship of Arab
and other nations and driving them towards Communism*"
According to this article, closely associated with THOMPSON is
a group of clergymen, teachers and political pamphleteers, most of whom
.iaye been publicly identified with Nationalist German causes* Further,
that THOMPSON'S Committee will have branches in Los Angeles* Chicago, and '
either Atlanta or Nashville*

Literary Agent

Public Relations Counsel
J. Edgar Hoover, Esq.
Chief, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sirl
I herewith enclose, for the records of your organisation, the
following papers:
1. Copy of my appointment as .American correspondent,
accredited to the United Nations, of " DER 1EGR, Argentine
magazine (monthly) published at Buenos Aires in the German
language .
2. Copy of the announcement of my appointment which I am
circulating to the press and interested parties.
Insofar as I can determine, there is no requirement that I •
furnish this information to any branch of Government, but I am glad to
do so anyway. No doubt the left-wing press will soon be wailing over the
fact that the strongly anti-Communist publication "DER WEG" has a corres-
pondent here.
In connection with my journalistic assignment, I anticipate that
I shall uncover, from time to time, data concerning the Communist Internat-
ionale, its agents, and its links with Jewish pressure groups operating in
the United States as "charitable" and "defense" organisations. Some of this
information, hitherto unpublished, is to be found in my articles in the
September and October issues of « EXPOSE".
Am I at liberty to forward any such information to you with the
reasonable assurrance that it will reach you personally?
With best wishes, I am -
&
Sincerely,.

My memorandum' October 21, 1954, I advised you of
the results of an interview with the captioned individual
by New York Agents as set forth in New York teletype October 19,
1954* Thompson had previously by letter dated October 16,
1954, complained that he had not received an acknowledgment
from any FBI official of information which he had furnished
to the FBI. He also expressed misgivings in his letter
concerning the extent to which the FBI collaborates with
"disreputable Jewish pressure groups. rt In his letter he
alleged that he had evidence consisting of affidavits and
documents which were in the possession of his attorney
establishing illegal, unethical and reprehensible actions on
the part of persons identified as Agents of the FBI.
As indicated in my above-mentioned memorandum; Thompson
refused to elaborate concerning the allegations with respect to
actions of FBI Agents other than to indicate that these
allegations were contained in affidavits. which had been collected
at the request of the attorney for "Bxpose" as a protection
against libel charges which might arise against him from a
series of articles which he had written for that publication.
As indicated previously Thompson is a sex deviate
who was dismissed by the United States Marine Corps.
By airtel dated October 20, 1954, New York advised
that during the interview with Thompson, Thompson expressed
concern about the cooperation between the Department of Justice
and certain Jewish pressure organizations. Wh qn questioned
to clari fy this statement Thompson stated that
Jthe. Nonsectari'an Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human
Rights, qft&hr bragged of his influence at the Department of
Justice in Washington. Thompson also said that he had heard
that an" official o f the Immigration and NAtu ralization Servicd
named ! H was selling information to I 1 Thompson
could no t elaborate .upon this statement. He also in the inter-
view expressed "serious doubts" about the integrity of the FBI

and the Justice Department because of what he termed complicity
in per jury by the Justice Department with respect to Sanford
Griffith who testified in the second trial of George Sylvester
Viereck, who was tried for violation of the Foreign Agents
Registration Act in I946 •
With respect to the allegations of unethical
actions by Bureau Agents, Thompson was informed that the FBI
does not collaborate with any unauthorized agencies nor
would it condone any illegal, unethical or reprehensible
conduct on the part of its personnel*
As indicated in ray memorandum October 21, 1954,
it is believed that further contact with Thompson is undesirable
in view of his allegations concerning the FBI and Bureau
Agents and his failure to substantiate these allegations by
specific information.
RECOMMENDATION :
If you approve, the attached letter to Assistant
Attorney General William P. Rogers with copies to Assistant
Attorney General, Warren Olney III and the Immigration
and Naturalization Service advising of Thompson 1 s statements
will be forwarded.

.synopsis: in previous 'installments Mr. Thompson luut 'said
that he 1.9 a Nationalist, and has described his entry into 'he
Nationalist (Fascist) network. He detailed his experience as
a -egistered foreign agent for neo-Nazis and his battles w Ik \
groups who opposed him and their agents. \
, Now he concludes: ■
My work for the Socialist Reich Party of West Ger-
many completed and registration with the Department of ;
Justice as a foreign agent duly terminated, the early;
months of 1953 found me busily engaged in the forma- 1
tion of a new, cultural group. * |
The "American Committee for the Advancement of l
Western Culture" was intended to be: (1) an advisory
group to the American People on preservation of our
traditions against the inroads of internationalist, "One-
World", alien cultures and influences: (2) a political ac-
tion group on questions of (United States domestic a!id
foreign affairs; and (3) a jjroup to safeguard the crfil
liberties of all Americans, regardless of their politics, f
Careful months of work \vent<§- " — —
into the formation of an aggres-j
sive committee from the ranks of j
American Nationalists, of Left, !
Right and Center, with a high-
calibre European advisory staff, i
It was heart-breaking work en- 1
deavori ng to secure the active co-
operation of Nationalists who, in
so many cases, were more opposed
to their Nationalist.contemporar-
ies than to the common enemies.
I, finally brought together a re-
presentative group, taking care
tc secure letters of acceptance.
The Honorary Chairman was
Di\ A. C. Tittmann, former diplo-
mat, author and outspoken oppo-
nent of the "wju* crimes" terror. ,
The Board of Directors included *
James II; yMadole, director of the i

vicvion, thus brought about !>y
perjury and fraud, with the com-
plicity of the Justice Departmerjt,
could not' have stood if the back-
ground of Griffith had been re- i
vealed in court. 1
This same Griffith is now a j
faculty member at the "New I
School for Social Research" in ; j
NYC and was a lecturer at Col-
gate University this summer. .
Always ready to give anti- \
Semitism a boost on behalf of the :
ADL, Griffith gave cash sums to j
the notorious Mana Tz^hill, paid j
agent of the Non-Sectarian Anti- ;,
Nazi League, for data from the .
files of the National Renaissance |:
Party, including some correspond- |
nber of European
^Nationalises, iruhill, at the time, .
was planted within the NRP by
"Professor" Sheldon of the Anti- I
Nazi League, and was busy ccl-
lectihg money from all sides f(lr
the Jpromotion of the most e;l-
trerce, vulgar and provocate] ,
fornix of anti-Semitism.
I am glad to hear that, in re-
cent weeks, James H. Madole, ;
honest, self-sacrificing NRP lead- \
er has taken firm steps to rid
; his organization of the cock-
roaches of the ADL and ANL.
From now on, lie is going to be (
better informed on the identity I
of these schemers, and should be
able to re-group and carry on
with more effectiveness.
The American Committee for
the Advancement of Western Cul-
ture had, by Spring of 1953, be-
come the major target of all the
Jewish pressure groups. But this
time, they tried a different ap- i
proach and tried to create dis- |
section amongst members. c| the
Gmmittee, employing atteripted
blackmail,, miscellaneous f|a k e ]
sc.-lres, and outright ecorjomic I
The operations of the Jewish
pressure groups were quite ,suc-
cessiul, for the American is ;'ren-
eraljiy not as devoted to his ideals
as ihe European, nor is het as
.apt to fight as hard for tJVem,
particularly in the face of un-
pleasant pressures.
- I understood when some com-
mittee members withdrew because
of fear for their employment, but
I was fighting mad when ADL
and ANL agents succeeded in
driving personal wedges between
Committee members. The Com-
mittee, because of its size and
dispersion, was helpless against
this type of infiltration. I lacked
the time to travel over the USA
trying to smooth out quarrels
between members, but I did all,
that I could.
While the possibility of my
running for Congress in .ffewi
York City's 18th Congressional
District was being publicped,
I fell victim to a trick in f roijfc of
Carnegie Hall on the occasion of
the Gieseking concert.
German concert pianist Walter
G ; .eseking had, since World War
Il ( j been a pet target of pressure
gijpups which branded him a
"Nazi" (which he .never was) be-
cause he had refused to denounce
his country.
His musical genius speaks for
itself, and has nothing to do with
politics in any case.
His 1953 appearance at Car-
negie Hall became a major con-
centration of the wolf pack which
announced plans for picketing the
conceit. I was determined that
any such ' picketing would meet
some challenge, even if only fTom
the American Committee for the
Advancement of Western Culture.
When I arrived at CarWegie j
Hal I with a group of friends on j
thtl evening of the concert, that
picketing by the "Jewish War '
Sarg: Bonn indicted him.
Veterans" and various Zionist
groups was already underway.
With the connivance of the
police, the pickets were blocking
the sidewalk and hurling invec-
tive at patrons attempting to en-
ter the hall. At the corner, a,
sound truck blared forth, adver-
tising Robert F. Wagner, Jr..
(now Mayor of New York) as a,
.speaker, and vilifying GiesekingS-
j I began to remonstrate. with
i police officers in an effort to at:
least gain a clear entrance for
the patrons, but my demands fell
upon deaf ears.
I was promptly identified, and.
I heard my name whispered-
through the swarm of angry Zion- /
ists which had quickly gathered
about my little group. News pho- .
tographers maneuvered for posi« •
tion as the leader of the demon-
stration approached me and threw,
a German naval flag at my feet.
"Is this your flag?", he scream-
ed in broken English.
My blood boiled, and 1^ re*
actijd explosively. ■ | •'
ijie flash bulbs popped, fend ■
thefphotographers had their *ic-;
turC It required a police esjjort
to get us safely into the hall,
where the 'Gieseking concert was
a magnificent success.
A few days later, Barry Gray
uied the action photograph on two
sijccessive TV shows, with aj
hdavy attack on the Committee, J
indicating several persons, sbch*
as Viereck, who were not mem-
bers of the Committee: This pub-
lic damaging of innocent persons,
caused me growing concern.
Meanwhile, on other fronts, the
pressure groups, deeply fearful
of the national character which
the Committee had taken, launch-
ed an all-out attack upon the
Committee. Most of it centered I
upon myself, my personal friends, 1
and my closest associates. 1
I was so hemmed in by every
manner of agent that I could
hardly move without observation.
Privacy was non-existent.
The persecution of social ac-
quaintances, merely for meeting
antl talking with me, took unbe-
lieleable forms and revealed some
interesting activities of miscel-
laneous agents.
At Queens College, a young
American Nationalist, Donald
A. Ss*z^, was "suspended" from
I school on a number of absurd,
fabricated charges, including 'jan-
} ti-Semitism", "anti-Catholic" and
i "anti-Negro" activity. High* on
I the list of "charges" was having
[met and talked with me.
' Dean Margaret V. Kiely, a
Catholic active in Jewish groups,
told Swan's mother that she had
been told by "authorities" that I
was a "subversive". Kiely has
made similar statements to others
' and admits to having heard "re-
dings oi my telephone con-
■sations. '
rhe actual reason for the "sus-!|
ision" of Swan was his- pro-t
Carthy, anti-Zionist activity f \
iducted largely off-campus, j
Die "charges" against Swini
»meranged at a time when vaJri-
(Continued from Page 4) ^
ous Queens College faculty meln-
birs were under investigation by
a I Congressional Committee lock-
irjg into Communist activities. 1
Swan was re-instated and, sub-!
sequently completed his studies. 1
^Passport seizure has become
a major political weapon of the
U.S. State Department, and the
victims are any American citizens
who dare to speak their mind on
political subjects in foreign coun-
tries, when their individual opin-
ions happen to differ with those
1 of the State 'Department. f
The companion weapon to pass-
port seizure is the denial of pass-
ports to controversial American
citizens. These Weapons have*
been applied against the Right j
as well as against the Left. ;'
In 1952, Ernest v ri "^\:v~l, f
American Nationalist and author
of The World Hoax visited Ger-
many.
While there, he delivered a
speech which Bonn authorities *
Considered to be "anti-British"
and "an ti -Democratic."
[ Upon his return to the U. S.,
Elmhurst was- pestered by two
Snoopers named Pritchard and
f CJeorge Thomas. Thereafter, a
Irian who identified himself as
H. W. Ramsay, agent of the
State Department, called upon
Elmhurst and asked to take up
his passport "for investigatioln"
becuuse the State Department
hadl information that "another
mail" was traveling under Ehln-
hunlt's name, and a check would
Hans, The Stuka Boy: Col.
Eudel, now in Argentina, is |
part of Thompson's network, j
have to be made. Elmhurst was \
given a "receipt" for the pass-
port, but the passport has never
been returned, and Rose Shipley
>f the Passport Division in Wash-
ington later wrote Elmhurst that
his passport had been "revoked"
because of "anti-American lec-
tures."
A similar case was that of
Voter's Alliance President Fleck-
er ptein who. while visiting Ger-
many in 1953, spoke out against
Ui S. policy towards Germarijy.
A-' frightened Adenauer caused
his arrest without charges, jail-
ing by Bonn police, the illegal
seizure of his passport by U. S.
authorities, and his forcible dlj-
povjation by order of U. S. High
Coibmissioncr Con ant.
Officials of both the Non-Sec-
tarian Anti-Nazi League and the
Anti-Defamation League have
claimed close association and ex-
change of information with the
Justice Department. In some
cases there is evidence that cer-
tain individuals have been on the
payroll of "the authorities", the
ADL and the ANL at the same
time, collecting money from all,
and selling the "secrets" of all to
various fourth and fifth parties.
This is quite amusing, and cer-
tainly accounts for much of the
balonev which ends up in various
[files, private- and governmental.
The phony "Professor" Jaxjcs
K Sheidon of the Non-Sectartan
Anti-Nazi League has bragfied
to witnesses of his "connections
with the Department of Justice
and stated that all his activities j
are "officially known." Assistant
Attorney General of the United
States Andrctta, however, on
September 20, 1054, put the lie
to the -Professor's" claims, is-
suing a written denial for publi-
cation.
Sheldon likes . to clicker with
official agencies and does so
through "plants". In the Depart-
ment of Immigration is a char-
acter mimed Nftthan Kock whose
"memoranda" have an interest-
ing circulation. ;
Also interesting reading is tho
N V. City police file on the
strafgc death of Sheldon's m<fero
.sccfffetary in Harlem last year.;
j pjlice list this as an "<£>en
i case".
Another operator in fcw/e cir-
rtes is a strange, obsessed y>umg
,nun named Arthur Stabile, lead
t of a group called Cutholic Cam-
paigners For Christ the Kinp At
the instigation of "Professor"
. Sheldon of tho ANL, Stabile took '
u "special interest" in "neo-Nuxi"
activities of Yorkville.
His professed interest was to
convert all to the Roman Catholic
line, but actually he was busily
giving information to the "Pro-
fessor", who entertained Stabile
in his apartment.
| Snooping for the Jesuits is a
seedy little man named Joseph
Lett! who describes himself as a
former high official of Allied Mil-
itary Government in Austria. Ac-
tually he was an intelligence
agent who was fired by the
United States for giving top sec-
vet Government information to
foreign Catholic priests.
It is noteworthy that when the
Catholic Church, is in a majority
in any country, it openly partici-
pates in politics and tries to ran
thi state. When* in a minority,
it pretends to oppose "invoBvc-
mt'nt" of its functionaries in Pol-
itics, and confines itself to cloak
and dagger snooping, associating
itself with some of tho most dis-
credited and disreputable ele-
ments of society.
I After a long, losing battle to
'hold an organisation together, 1
issued, on August l\\ U*ol ! . a
press statement dissolving the

with att
I was that 1 would not publicly
link my foreign friends with an
American group too infiltrated to
fujictton. Moreover, after a few
■mlintha of total inactivity,- 1 was
id le to resume more important
journalistic work without thojflis-
advantnges of glaring headlines,
"investigations" and hordes' of
agents.
During 1054, this has paid a
tremendous dividend. (
As early as 1952, a character
Carol of Romania: The late
King's inscription is to Thomp- |
son. ,
who called himself "Yusef Nadir"
and who described himself as an
American graduate student of t
Arab ancestry, t wrote me letters ,
from within Germany trying to
ferret out my European "con-
tacts."
In particular, he. sought out !
links to the Grand Mufti of Jeru- j
salem. He didn't get them. In- :
stead, as I handled all such let- |
ters, I referred "Nadir", knowing
nothing about him, to a selected
list of European Nationalists,
with the suggestion that they
proceed with caution and find out
what "Nadir" was up to.
"Yusef Nadir" was thus un-
masked as the notorious "John
Roy Carlson", born Avedia Ar-
thur Derounian, investigator for,
the disreputable "Friends of De-
mocracy." j
Derounian, using the alias
"George Pagnanelli", had infil- 1
trated patriotic American organi- '
zations just prior to World War
II. He "disappeared" and thert
turrfed up again as "John Ro;|
Carl son," author of the outrage!
ous smear book called "Undeij
Cov< r ," and its sequel, "The Plot-
"Carlson", termed by Wes
broajk Pegler as a "notorious
fak<jr and liar" and an "irrespoi-
sibl<[ adventurer in scandalous ,
publicity", was promptly sued for j
libe'i^by outraged American patri- i
ots. Judge John P. Barnes, in j
the course of such a libel suit, j
said that "Carlson" was "un-
worthy of belief on oath and
would write anything for a dol-
lar." '
From 1047 to 1950, "Carlson"
travelled to Europe and the Mid-
dle East, infiltrating Nationalist
groups in "preparation" for his
j book "Cairo to Damascus", which
j ' In 1952, he was back in Europe

Darmstae dterlandstr. 13 - H,
Frankfurt/ M, Germany. He de-j
scribed the Saupe address as his ;
"permanent" one.
"Carlson" returned to the US,
in September 1954, with a consid-'
erable file of misinformation ac-
quired during his snooping of the
last several years. "Nadir" lists
his American "cover address" as:',
c/o Ghasn, 269-82nd Street,;
Brooklyn, New York.
This is a two-family house in
a good section of Brooklyn, but
Ghasn merely operates a "mail
drop" and "message center" for
tDunian-Carlson-Nadir.

Sir Oswald Mosley's pre--*" "
cist party, British Union, which
was feupressed in 1940 owing to
its opposition to the war with
Germany.
It claimed, and quite ri^ „ t
that World War II could only
lead to the domination of Europe
by Soviet Russia.
The leading officials and mem-
bers of the pre-war organization
were detained for years in pris-

ing the war.
immediately after the war,
I Mosley wrote a book — The Al-
ternative — outlining a new policy
which differed in many respects
from pre-war Fascism, especially
in its abandonment of "the more
narrow concepts of .nationalism."
Meanwhile, members of the
pre-war movement had formed
small organizations of their own
which combined under Mosley's
-leadership in February 1948 to
form ''Union Movement."

I em writing today to request your participation in a project which will serve two
purposes: 1. it- will enable a great soldier to cite in his memoirs the scope,
of "grass roots" American support against his illegal confinement at the hands of
the "Allies", and 2. it will enable you to make a genuine contribution toward^ the
salvaging of whatever remains of American Honor abroad.
It is ray task to assemble a coimemprative album of letters, clippings, etc.,
occasion of the release from illegal confinement on October 1st of Germany it
President, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, who had been held at the orders of tlj
called. "Allies" of World War II as a "war '. criminal" in Spandau Prison, West
Actually, the "crime" of Admiral Doenitz was the effective leading of the
of a nation at war, nothing more. He was an honorable professional soldier J

was sentenced to ten years' confinement* He actually served more than eleve
again illegally, and again as the result of the vindictiveness of the slimy \
minority which runs the Western World today*

y/
Admiral Doenitz is now free. His American friends, and those who never kneV|l
personally, but who £tre repelled by the entire spectacle of the "war crimes*"
and anxious to remove some of this blot on the record of the United States, have
undertaken to prepare albums containing press clippings pertaining to Admiral Doenitz
and letters from Americans welcoming his release and citing his record j^b an honor- ^
able military commander « Also welcome are letters attacking the "war crimes trials"
in general and the Doenitz case in particular. Such letters should preferably be
addressed to the Admiral, or to me about the Admiral, and in any case, sent to me.
I urge you to write such a letter and submit Atf |# me by I earliest possible mail.
The response to this appeal has already be^raWoaj?aging, ari$ I am. anxious .to* in-

Actually, the "crime", of Admiral Doenitz was the effective leading of the naval arm

The response to this appeal has already been encouraging, ,and I am anxious to in-

Dear Judge Clark,: : ;
Instead of writing silly letters to the New York Times protesting
perhaps the first sensible act of a U.S. dominated "Allied Parole
Commission, " why don't you participate in the testimonial album
described in the enclosure, as many really prominent Americans
are doing?
I have never understood how a man of your education could fall
into such je wish traps and mouthe such fiction as "3, 000, 000
jews" (murdered). The jews. claim that it was 6,000,000. Wevje?
there really any murdered? I think they are ail here }n *
New York City. Perhaps we should send some down to Princeton.
Sincerely,

TELEHtAM TO THE LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT OF GERMANY, StAND ADMIRAL
KARL DOENITZ, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RELEASE FROM ELEVEN YEARS
OF ILLEGAL CONFINEfrffiNT BY THE "ALLIES" FOR "WAR CRIMES": r
On the day of the triumph of your steSled will over the plans of your
vengeful persecutors, your American friends congratulate you and wish
you a long, healthy life. Throughout the entire despicable Nuremberg
proceedings - brought about by the criminal co-guilt of the USA- and
world Jewry, your soldierly honor shone forth as the sole hope of those
who wished to rebuild the collapsing Western World.
Through your personal courage, you have triumphed over the calculated
plans of the destroyers of Western Culture, and you stand today as the
personification of Honor, Loyalty and Faith. Let no considerations
dissuade you from this position. You are unique in History 1 Today we
also greet your courageous wife who has fought for you so valiantly
through these difficult years.

v Instead of writing, silly letters to the
New York Times protesting perhaps the first sensible
act of a U.S. dominated 'allied parole commission 1 why
don r t you participate in the testimonial album described
in the enclosure, as many really prominent Americans
are doing? 11
■"I have never understood how a man of your
education could fall into such Jewish traps and mouthe
such fiction as T 3,000,000 jews, (murdered). The
jews claim that it was 6,000,000. Were there really
any murdered? I think they are all here in New York City,
perhaps we should send some down to Princeton. 11

anti-Negro organization with activities generally
confined to the New York City area. He said that its
principal activities consist of holding outdoor meetings,

States and abroad, where it is reprinted by other
similar organizations. This source stated the NRP leader
and founder is JAMES H. MADOLE and its principal financial
contributor is FREDERICK WEISS. He said that at present
the Party membership. is very small. The April, 1955 9

analysis regarding pages of a loose-leaf notebook which was

"The notes contained on page 4 Of the above
notebook could be an outline of the present political
situation in the state of Connecticut. Emphasis is placed
on the role of the Independent voters in the Democratic Party
campaign. The reference to BOWLES forces probably refers to
CHESTER A. BOWLES, former Governor of Connecticut of the
Democratic Party, more recently U.S. Ambassador td India.
BOWLES at the present time holds no public office. However,
he and his followers represent a faction within the Democratic
Party wMhin Connecticut. The BOWLES forces are generally considered
to be 'liberal' in the Democratic Party. It appears from

Reference is made to your memorandum, of May 14,

S3'"-
As mentioned in our memorandum of November 21,
1956, the statement on subject f s letterhead to the
effect that he was a correspondent for an Argentine
newspaper constituted him an agent of a foreign
principal as defined by Section l(c) of the Act.
However, pursuant to Rule 303 of the Rules and Regu- -
lations promulgated under the Act, representatives of
newspapers are regarded as exempt under the provisional
of Section 3(d) of the Act so long as their political
activity is confined to that set forth in Rule 303.
Ill
Since the information submitted is insufficient
to establish that the matter disseminated by the sub-
ject constituted political activity as that term is
defined by Rule 100(a)(ll) of the Rules and Regulations,
it is the opinion of this Division that the exemption
provided representatives of newspapers by Section 3(d)
of the Act is available to the subject and therefore
his registration as an agent of a foreign principal
will not be solicited at this time.

The information furnished in this report

information other than subject 1 s letterhead to establish
that he was acting as the United Nations correspondent
for the Argentine newspaper, !t Der Weg". In view thereof,
the information is insufficient to establish that subject's
activities on behalf of the Argentine newspaper were such
as to constitute him an agent of a foreign principal within

l^ lJ J- For record purposes, while discussing another matter with _Da ve ' A
^^wrence of "U. S. News and World Report, " 10-24-58, Mr. Lawrence observed
Tffiat several years ago his publication had run an item on Harold Keith Thompson J
indicating that Thompson had been a candidate of the National Renaissance Party I
and in view of Thompsons denial of ever being a candidate, "U. S. News and ^^J
World Report" had to run a retraction. Thompson is mentioned in the Hous&# t
Committee on Un-American Activities report on Neo- Fascist groups dated v
9-17-54. Lawrence stated that Thompson apparently had some connection with
the German ^language paperT^^r Weg", in Buenos Aires an^ that he, Lawrence,
mentioned ft) Alan Dulles of CIA that there were plenty of Fascist and anti>-Nazi
elements in South America, apparently with money at their disposal, suggesting
that CIA might well keep abreast of any situation in that area from this group.
He particularly had in mind the German publication "Der Weg" and in this connection
he turned over to Alan Dulles the "U. S. News and World Report" file on £
'-■ Harold Keith Thompson in view of the anti-Semitic background of "Der Weg. " ;■
Lawrence made the observation that CIA apparently was doing nothing in South ~
America in keeping trac^Sf anti- Jewish proponents in that area who might have somfe
possible connection with the people in this country and that since "Der Weg n had been
'run out of the Argentine because of its pro-facist policy it was his feeling that CIA •
Na
fj
should attempt to find out if M Der Weg" is reorganizing in Germany.
/.<
t jjJi I
The Department, by memorandum 11-21-56, noted that Thompson
was a correspondent for the Argentine newspaper and as such was not required to
register under the Registration Act. However, since Thompson was soliciting
declarations of greeting addressed to Admiral Doenitz, a German war criminal then
being released from custody, the Department noted that if subject was engaged in
political activities, registration under the act might be required in spite of his
working for a foreign newspaper. Under date of June 20, 1958, the Department by
memorandum advised the Bureau that since the exemption provided representatives
of newspapers under Section 3(d) of the Foreign Agents i^^istration Act as amended,
is available to the subject, his registeation>as an agent of a forefgn'pfijlcipal will not

RE: HAROLD KEITH THOMPSON, WAS.
The Bureau advised the Assistant Attorney General of th e Internal
Security Division on July 1, 1958, by memorandum that the report of s£
dated May 27, 1958, at New York, which was forwarded to the Internal

the contents of the referenced report changed the decision of the Department as
reflected in its memorandum of June 20, 1958.
To date, no reply has been received from the Department, A
